Wouldn’t It Be Nice... If Your Bed Worked Smarter for You?

In the ever-evolving world of healthcare, it’s no longer enough for a bed frame to just offer support — it needs to work with caregivers and for patients. Imagine a medical bed designed not just for comfort but for intelligence, precision, and prevention. Wouldn’t it be nice if your patient bed could automatically lower itself to reduce falls? Or prove it was in the safest position without guesswork?

With Joerns Healthcare’s innovative technology, that vision is now reality.

Smarter Bed Design That Saves Lives

Joerns Healthcare has spent over 30 years revolutionizing the medical bed landscape. They lead the way in low-bedinnovation, reducing risks for both patients and caregivers. Their latest advancement, Joerns Connexio®, turns traditional hospital beds into connected, data-powered tools that enhance safety and accountability.

Why does this matter? Because nearly 70% of residents fall annually, and half experience multiple falls. Shockingly, 50% of those falls happen right at the bedside — often due to high bed positions or poor support during repositioning.

The Clinical Case for Smart Hospital Beds

A clinical bed that adjusts height and shares real-time data is more than a convenience — it’s a preventative tool. Traditional hospital patient beds may not alert staff when left in high positions. But with Connexio®, caregivers receive notifications and can verify bed height remotely — reducing fall risk significantly.

Key Findings:

• Beds set under 8 inches dramatically lower injury risk during falls.

• Wider beds, like Joerns’ 42-inch models, cut fall frequency by 36% compared to 35-inch beds.

• Falls during repositioning are reduced with greater mattress surface area — offering more stability.

Patient Safety Meets Caregiver Wellness

Beyond the medical patient bed, Joerns also focuses on caregiver health. Musculoskeletal disorders among caregivers are among the highest across any profession — often due to repeated repositioning efforts. Smarter hospital beds like the EasyCare® and UltraCare® series make transfers and adjustments simpler, safer, and less physically demanding.

These beds support:

• Auto-transfer height features

• Wider bed surface options

• Real-time bed status monitoring through Connexio®

The Joerns Advantage: Built for Hospitals, Designed for Humans

Whether you're searching for a medical hospital bed, a clinical bed, or an infirmary bed, the right solution blends technology with compassion. Joerns delivers both. Their EasyCare® and UltraCare® beds are ideal for:

• Long-term care facilities

• Skilled nursing homes

• Rehabilitation centers

• Hospitals seeking TAA-compliant smart beds

Patients in hospital beds are safer, and caregivers are better supported with Joerns' innovative designs.

Final Thoughts: Smarter Beds, Better Outcomes

From reducing fall injuries to empowering caregivers, Joerns proves that the bed in hospital settings doesn’t have to be static. It can think, adjust, and report — offering peace of mind that your patient is at the right height, in the right position, every time.

So… wouldn’t it be nice if your hospital bed worked smarter for you?

Now it can.

❓ FAQs

What is a smart hospital bed?

A smart hospital bed is a technologically advanced medical bed equipped with sensors and connectivity features that monitor patient position, bed height, and more. Joerns’ beds powered by Connexio® are examples, offering real-time status updates to enhance safety and caregiver efficiency.

How does bed height impact patient safety?

Bed height plays a crucial role in fall prevention. When a hospital patient bed is kept under 8 inches in height, it significantly reduces injury risk from falls. Smart beds can automatically adjust and verify proper height positioning.

Why are wider beds better for patients?

Traditional patient beds are often narrower than what residents are used to at home. Wider beds (e.g., 42-inch) offer more surface area for repositioning, which reduces the risk of falls caused by momentum shifts or reaching.

Can smart beds help reduce caregiver injuries?

Yes. By automating repositioning and auto-transfer height adjustments, medical hospital beds like Joerns EasyCare® reduce the physical strain on caregivers — helping to lower the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

What is Joerns Connexio®?

Connexio® is a smart bed platform by Joerns Healthcare that enables remote monitoring of each medical bed’s height and status. It helps staff ensure beds are in the correct position at all times, improving overall patient safety.

Are Joerns beds TAA compliant?

Yes. Joerns Healthcare provides TAA-compliant medical beds, making them suitable for federal and government healthcare facilities.
